Joining a Race in Progress
Rather than making you wait for a race to finish,
Need for Speed
The Run
lets you join a race that
has already started. You enter the race in last place near the back of the pack (not all the way back at
the start). You may not win, but it beats sitting around waiting, and you can still earn XP!
AUTOLOG
Autolog is a suite of online features that allow you to connect, compare, and compete with your

Need for Speed
The Run
via the www.NeedForSpeed.com website.

The Run Autolog Competition
As you play The Run, you are compared against your Friends for every stage. You and your Friends’
overall times are also pitted against each other.
The Run SpeedWall
The Run SpeedWall is shown after every race event and stage. It updates your position against those
of your Friends.
Real-Time HUD Updates
If a Friend has previously raced an event you have unlocked, their current split time is shown against
yours in real-time.
The Run Leaderboards
Access The Run Leaderboards from the map screen. Here, you can view the overall times of all your
Friends for The Run.
Autolog Recommends
Autolog Recommends give you personalized gameplay recommendations automatically generated for
you based on how well your Friends have been playing. Everything you do in
Need for Speed
The Run
is tracked and continuously compared against your Friends.
If you set a new Personal Best for a race event or stage, Autolog places your performance into your
Friends’ games and alerts them about your progress. Similarly, your Friends’ performances are
broadcasted directly into your game, giving you instant comparisons whenever you are playing.
